When two brothers plan a trip to deliver a sailing boat from southern France to Greece, culminating in a relaxing island-hopping holiday with their wives, it looks as though a fun-filled time lies ahead. However, the reality is somewhat different. Take two strong-willed men with opposing characters and confine them to the cramped conditions of a small boat, add bad weather, communication breakdown, faulty equipment, and exhaustion, and you have a recipe for disaster.
The journey takes readers through the wild landscape around the canals of the French Camargue and along the often-stunning Italian coast—an area steeped in mythology and notable historical events.
In a story told from the perspective of a frustrated and increasingly incredulous crew, meet the morose, Mr. Jolly, and other amusing characters.

Jeffrey Cleaver was born in 1942 in Coventry, UK, to a working-class family. In 1954, he studied at Woodlands Technical College for a building trades qualification. However, his father took him out of school at fifteen to earn money, and he took a job as a garage laborer. He was offered an apprenticeship and qualified as a motor mechanic. While working, he studied at the Open University for an arts degree and graduated in 1974 with a BA. The same year, he was offered a place at Trinity College, Cambridge, to read history and qualified with an MA in 1978. He became a lecturer in various colleges throughout the UK until he retired in 1997. Jeffrey became a councilor in a local government and was the Arts Champion for the district.
